BIOGRAPHY OF EDWARD J. SMITH: A Tragic Tale on the Uneventful Life of the Titanic Ship Captain

Captain Smith began working on boats while he was just a teenager, and he quickly rose to prominence as a commander in the Boer War. In order to step in as captain, he had to obtain the authorization of an expert in 1875. Captain Smith, who was held in great esteem, also had extensive experience in commanding large ships. Even though Captain Smith had a few mistakes, he was given the Titanic, the world's largest and most famous ship, to command. This showed how highly he was thought of and trusted he was. Because of his command's regularity, he quickly rose in position and importance. This book chronicles the captain of the Titanic's less than eventful life, his career with the White Star Line, and the pandemonium at sea leading up to the ship's sinking.
